Alba Maria familiarly known as XamAM, is a Brazilian Shaman, spiritual teacher, psychologist, poet and first visionary of the Terra Mirim Movement. XamAM has been guiding apprentices for over 30 years, passing down the wisdom learnt from her native ancestors and intense initiations with the Four Elements of Nature across many sacred lands. XamAM’s life is expressed as a continuous inner awakening in practise, shared with those who come for profound wisdom and healing.

Terra Mirim Movement follows the footsteps of the Shamanic path of the Mother Goddess lineage, rescuing the millennia of spirituality from the Native South America. The Foundation, Community and Guardian of the Atlantic Forest is an internationally recognised UNESCO’s Man and Biosphere reserve resulted from its 24 years of ongoing actions in favour of Nature, Humanity, Education, Citizenship and Consciousness.
